This article discusses vernal pools, which are temporary, shallow pools formed by winter rains in depressions with a non-permeable subsurface, primarily found in California. The author highlights the unique plant and animal life specifically adapted to these ephemeral habitats, emphasizing the rapid life cycles required before the pools dry. Lammerts points out that some plant genera, like Downingia, are found exclusively in vernal pools, and most species are endemic to California, suggesting a relatively recent evolutionary origin according to conventional science. From a creationist perspective, the article proposes that vernal pools and their specialized inhabitants were likely created after the biblical Flood, as these temporary water bodies would not have existed in a pre-rain world.
